I have known Mr. Womble for a little over 8 years. I work for his accountant and always looked forward to Mr. Womble coming in. He really was one of my favorite clients. I also enjoyed his stories about Samson. The last time he was in he was telling me about Samson sitting on the bar watching over a bowl of Hershey chocolate kisses. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you at this time. And once again I really admired him. He was truly a wonderful man.
Dear Nancy,
I just read about your father’s death, and I just want you to know that you and your family have my deepest sympathy. I remember your family very well. God bless all of you!
